Google me right!

May 14, 2008

Last night Lucy Gray sent out a tweet on Twitter about Google Apps for Education. As I went on to explore her link I came across some resources that I thought would be really helpful for some of the schools I am working with. As a teacher I have often seen kids heading off to look for information on the Internet only to find that they have come away with nothing more than a few snippets.

Whilst working with a team of secondary teachers I realised that this is not just a primary school issue. When I explored Google Apps for Education there was a link that took me to a great set of Google search tip posters. These are a great resource to have in classrooms or labs as visual prompts to help students make the most of their searches.
